Working in Great Sankey
Blades Building is a family-run Ltd company based in Westbrook, Warrington, with over 35 years in the trade. Great Sankey sits about 3 miles west of Warrington, reached via M62 J8 and the A57. Most properties we look at here are 4-bed detached and semi-detached family homes, and the housing type genuinely changes how a job is planned — access for steel and skips, ground conditions, and how new work ties into the existing structure all follow from it.
